Almost 2 million YETI® soft coolers and gear cases were recalled after a design flaw on the bags created an ingestion hazard. The recall involves the YETI® Hopper M20 Soft Backpack Cooler, Hopper M30 Soft Cooler 1.0 and 2.0, and the SideKick Dry Gear Case, all of which have been sold in multiple colors. According to the recall report, these products include a primary pocket closure lined with high-powered magnets enclosed in a heat-sealed strip. The safety risk comes from the magnet-lined closures, which can fail and result in the magnets detaching and pose a risk of severe injury or death if ingested.
The recall notice warned that consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and to immediately contact YETI® to receive a complete refund or replacement product.
